dear Jim,

today you wasn't in class today and we had learned about substance abuse. And I've noticed that very stressed people tend to turn to drugs and alcohol to relive their stress. Lately I had noticed that you have become very stressed lately.. here's some ways to destress with out abusing substances... 1. talk it out- it helps to talk someone so your not holding in all your feelings in. 2. do things you love- the things you love to do can sometimes help you relive your stress..

and dude you can come talk to me too i wont bite

                          sincerely, Jack

(hope i helped)
